Well, messages that are going to be read by a large number of people are
good candidates for being put into a news.group instead of mail.  Saves disk
space computing resources, etc...

Basically you would set up a number of local groups that would pertain to
specific areas of interest for your corporate members.  Apple extensivily
uses internal/local groups to pass information around to members of specific
divisions or even small work groups.

There are a number of news readers available for your workstations and PC's
that will allow your users access to news.
